Chapter 4: Party Time

The football players of Angelon Secondary School were preparing to play King Maximillian School (a top private school) in a football match that was scheduled to start at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday morning.
Not a lot of people were there to watch the match. The only people who did watch were family, very close friends and possibly football scouts on the search for unnoticed youth talent.
Stars and Jessica were waiting on the side of the pitch. Claws and Tails were back at home. Both Stars and Jessica were wearing coats because it was raining a little and the ground was slipere.
The teams were coming out from the changing rooms. Angelon were wearing red shirts and shorts, King Maximillian were in blue shirts and white shorts. Sonic was leading the team, he had a white armband around his right arm: this show he was the captain. His number was 7 (it was a yellow letter). Behind him was Knuckles. He was the goalkeeper and was in a yellow top on and was number 1. Clas was a midfielder (number 8) and Ninja was the left winger (number 11). Glides was taking Sonic's normal position (right winger) and was number 6 and Armour was number 5 and a central defender.
Sonic, the referee (a 40-year-old Doberman) and the King Maximillian's captain (an 18-year-old polar bear) met in the centre circle. The King Maximillian's captain had 18 on the back of shirt and 'ACTICLE' above it.
"William, heads or tails?" the ref asked.
"Tails," the bear answered.
The ref flipped the coin into the air. It landed and it was tails.
"Right to left or left to right?" the ref asked.
"Right to left," William answered.
Sonic and William shook hands and took there positions. The ref blow his whistle King Maximillian kicked off.
In the crowd Amy was running towards Stars and Jessica. She was wearing a pink coat, jeans and trainers. "I haven't missed anything?" she asked.
"None, just kicked off," Stars answered.

It took 5 minutes for the first good attack. Armour lobbed the ball upfield to Yobomba (the other striker (Number 9)). Yobomba chested the ball to control it and got it down to his feet and ran forward. A defender (a rhino) went to do a sliding tackle. Yobomba chipped it over him. Sonic received the ball and ran into the box. He only had the keeper to beat. He shot. But the bat drived and forced the ball over the line and conceded a corner.
Sonic took the corner. The went into the centre of the 6 yard box and the players jumped. Clas headed the ball but the King Maximillian's keeper was able grab the ball and the players ran all over the field, back into they normal positions.
"Good play lads," Stars said, while chapping with a few other blokes.

Over the next 10 minutes of the match it was mainly Sonic, Yobomba and Clas controlling the ball, but stopped by either the King Maximillian defences or goalkeeper. But on the 20th minute in the match Angelon got another corner. But, when Sonic took it a King Maximillian's defender kicked the ball up field to one of they striker's (a 17-year-old cheetah) (HARRIS 9) got the ball, ran upfield, easily pasted the only defender. Harris was one-on-one with Knuckles. Knuckles run out from his goalline. Harris kicked the ball and it hit Knuckles. It bounds off him and Harris was able to tap the ball into the goal. All the King Maximillian's players were jumping up and down and ecstatically.
But they lead was short lived. At the kick off Sonic passed the ball to Yobomba, he passed it back to Clas. Clas run upfield until we was blocked by William and forced to pass it to his cousin on the left wing. Ninja ran up the left wing until he go the edge of the box and chipped the ball in and Sonic was on the receiving end and volleyed it into the goal.
Sonic was cheering, jumping, punching the air and shouting "YES!!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!"
Sonic saw Amy. She blew him a kiss, he blew on back.
"Girlfriend?" a King Maximillian player (a 16-year-old fox) asked.
"What do you think?" Sonic said, asking a rhetorical question, knowing the fox asked an extremely stupid question.

The match was pretty normal after that. Both sides had an good amount of attacks and was a well played match. But Knuckles and the King Maximillian goalie had play brilliantly and both defences had a good match.
But on the 66th minute was a dyer blow to both the Angelon and King Maximillian. Sonic was running towards the King Maximillian goal (to thoughts who don't know football, both sides swap ends at after half time (45th minute)) and on the outside of box, just as Sonic was about to chip the ball towards Clas the fox (FORSET 4) hacked Sonic down with a high, two footed tackle. Sonic fell to the ground. Sonic was in pain. Skin was danging from Sonic's right thigh; you could raw muscles.
The ref rushed towards Sonic. He called the Forset over and gave him a red card.
Amy and Mr. Cooke (the P.E. teacher/football coach) (a golden retriever, with brown hair) ran over to Sonic.
"Are you all right?" Amy said.
"I'll be fine," Sonic answered.
"You shouldn't be here!" the ref said, in shock at Amy.
"He's my boyfriend!"
"I'm going to make a substitution," Mr. Cooke said to the ref.
"WHAT!!" Sonic shouted. "I'll be able to play in 5 minutes."
"We can't wait 5 minutes Sonic, we need someone now," Mr. Cooke said to Sonic. "CRAG, GET OVER HERE NOW!!!!!" he shouted to a 16-year-old grizzly bear wearing the number 15 shirt.
Sonic knew they was not point fighting, unless he wanted to lost his captaincy. Sonic limped to the bench. Mr. Cooke made Knuckles the captain for the rest of the match.

It was the last 5 minutes of the match. It was do or die for both teams to get the winning goal. Both teams were attacking and counter attacking. But Angelon got a corner kick. Ninja took the corner and all the players in the box jumped into the air and Clas got his head to the ball and knocked it in past the line.
"YES!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!! YESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!" Clas shouted, jumping up into the air, punching and being surrounded by his teammates.
Throughout the rest of match it was the blue shirts of King Maximillian were attacking, but Knuckles made sure that they didn't get the goal they needed.

"One more reason for a party," Sonic said (now wearing jeans and a blue jacket).
The group were walking to Sonic's car, or as Stars' called, 'the death machine' when Sonic was driving.
"You were lucky," Stars said. "If I was playing we would have made sure we won easierly."
"You're just jelaous that I'm a better captain."
"Oh yes. You were so good, that you got into a fight with Mr. Cooke and you're are most possibly going to lose your place," Stars answered sacastily.
"Ironge him," Amy said. "I thought you were great."
"See," Sonic said to Stars. "She knows a good thing when she sees it," and kissed her.
"Of course she will good things about you. She's your girlfriend."
"They were lucky," a voice said from behind.
The turned around. It was William and Harris from the match.
"My name is Will, this is Ras," William introduced.
"Okay," Sonic said. "I'm Sonic, this is my girlfriend Amy and the star cats are Stars and Jess."
"We heard you were having a party," Ras said.
"That's right," Stars answered.
"Do you have to be inverted or can anyone come?" Will answered.
"You can come," Sonic said. "It's 5 Silver Road."

At 6:00 pm Sonic, Claws and Stars were sitting up for the party. They moved all the furniture and set up a table with the 'refreshments'.
Sonic set up a massive sound system so that the partygoes could get the best from the music.
Claws and Sonic took down all the political banners outside the house. Plant was running in a by-election to become the MP and wanted people to know, but Sonic, Claws and Stars didn't think it would set the right image.

At 7:45 pm Amy (denim skirt and white jumper), Knuckles (light blue jeans and black shirt) and Vicky (white and blue denim skirt, brown high heal boots and a white thin jumper saying 'I know I'm Gorgeous' in black writing) arrived early. They wanted to help to finish setting up. The only thing that needed to be done was putting the bottles and cans in buckets of ice.
At 8:00 pm the first people started to arrive to the party.
"May as well get the party started," Sonic said and put a CD in the player. After a seconds the music started and Sonic (now wearing jeans and a blue shirt with a white collar and cuffs) slided to right and started to sing: "I must've died and gone to heaven
"Cos it was quarter past eleven
"On a Saturday in 1999."
"Here he goes," Knuckles said.

At the same time Roo (jeans and a blue shirt) was at Sam's house. Roo had to get out his car, which is not easy coinciding he is disabled. The legal age to drive in Freemantle is 17 but anyone disabled could learn when they are 15 and they license at 16.
He rolled up to Sam's house, only to find a stairs. Besides thinking 'damn'. He had to reach into his pocket to get his mobile phone. He dialled Sam's number into it, held it by his ear and started to ring.
"Hello," Sam said.
"It's Roo," Roo answered. "You seem to forgot to tell me something."
Sam (blue skirt and a red shirt) rushed to the door, with the cordless phone next to her ear.
"Wheelchairs and stairs don't mix," Roo said.
Behind Sam was her dad and her 22-year-old brother.
"So this is your boyfriend," Sam's brother whispered in her ear.
"Shut up!" she snapped.
"Pete, come here and help," Sam's dad said.
Pete and Sam's dad when to down towards Roo and lifted him up and carried him over the stairs and into the house. Roo rolled towards the sofa, lifted himself up and turned, so he could sit on the sofa.
"Do you want anything to drink?" Sam's dad asked.
"I'm fine thanks," Roo answered.
"What do you do?" Pete asked.
"Freemantlish, Psychology, Sociology and History," Roo answered. "I'm hoping to go to Uni next year."
"To do?"
"Either Sociology and Psychology, History or Journalism and Media."
"How did you become disabled?" Pete asked.
"PETE!" Sam snapped.
"It's okay," Roo said. "Just born this way."
The four talked for 10 minutes. Sam's dad and Pete normally did this, they wanted to know Sam's dates.

Also at 8:00 Sonia (black jeans and a dark blue sweater) and her two friends, Zara (a 16-year-old black haired huskey (wearing a blue shirt with thin white sprits and jeans)) and Gemma (a 16-year-old blond grey furred Persian Cat (white jumper and black trousers)) were going to the party. Sonia's parents thought it was a good thing that she was going to a party because she was starting to be more normal and sociable.
The three of them were going to meet Clas and Ninja on the way to the party.

They met them two streets away from the party at 8:10 pm. Sonia when to hug Clas (black shirt with a white Chinese dragon on it and jeans) and kissed him on the lips.
Ninja (red and white jumper and black jeans) was they because he didn't want to go alone, so went with Clas, ever thought he had to withstand Clas and Sonia being all loved up and he didn't want to talk to Zara and Gemma (he preferred girls who were at least 17). He didn't really care about them, but he cared about Sonia because she was going out with his cousin and they had to work together when on a mission.

It took 7 minutes for them to get to the house. Roo and Sam arrived a few minutes later and most people were at the party at 8:45 pm.
Even though everyone was telling the people who played in the match good job', not many saw it.

Most people at the party were Sixth formers (16 to 18 year olds) but they were some year 11 (15 to 16) and university students and mates Claws (who aged between 19 or 20).
Already some people were starting to become drunk, but that is because they were drinking before they went to the party.
Stars (black combats, black jumper with a unbuttoned white shirt with the arms cut off) and Roo were at the refreshment table. Both were getting drinks for Sam and Vicky but were getting drinks for themselves.
"Are you sure you should be drinking so much?" Stars asked Roo when he was having a swig from his beer.
Roo took the bottle out from his mouth and said: "Just because I'm disable and driving doesn't mean I can't enjoy one or two beers. Anyway, aren't you on painkilers?"
"Good point," Stars said. "Cheers," he said lefting up his beer and touched his with Roo, making a ping sound.

At the same time Sonic and Claws (wearing a black shirt and light blue jeans) were both standing and drinking. Both were watching Knuckles, Jessica, Ninja and 17-year-old black haired wolf.
"Your master plan of getting Jess and Ninja together has well ... balls up," Claws said to Sonic.
"You'll see," Sonic answered.
green female echidna wearing jeans and light yellow sweatshirt caught their eye.
"You see her?" Sonic asked. Claws nodded. "She is Jade Givans and I know she fancies Knuckles."
"That is all well and good but look how close Knuckles and Jessica are," Claws countered.
"I'll just have to wait."
"And what about Ninja with that girl? Got any blokes ready for her?"
Sonic stained at Claws.
"NO!" Claws said sharply.
"Fine then," Sonic said. "I'm sure you can find someone."
"What!" Claws snapped but Sonic was going towards Jade.

"Hiya," Sonic said to Jade.
"Hi," Jade answered. Jade liked Sonic but was on the shy side.
"Do you like Knuckles?" Sonic said.
"Err.... He's alright," Jade stammered, blushing.
"Well he likes you," Sonic said matter-of-factly.
"But he's with Jessica."
"It's nothing serious. Just up to him when Jess goes with a can of bitter and tell him he had a good match."
They both had to wait for two minutes before Jessica left to go to the toilet. Sonic grabbed a can of bitter and gave it to Jade. Jade walked towards Knuckles.
Claws didn't have to work with Ninja's dancing partner because her boyfriend came back to her and forced Ninja to leave her.
When Jessica came back she saw Knuckles and Jade dancing together. She was friends with Jade and knew she fancied Knuckles and let her dance.
"We both just got stood up," Ninja said to Jessica.
"Weird it happened to be us," Jessica muttered. "And I got a feeling this was set up."
She turned her head and saw Sonic and Amy dancing together. Sonic looked at her and winked at her.
"Want to dance?" Ninja asked.
"Sure."

At 9:45 pm the party was going well. People were enjoying themselves, dancing and hooking up with members of the opposite sex. Not many people were wasted and people who smoke just went outside for a fag.
Sonic was upstairs in his room. He was just picking out some of his CDs to play. He then heard the door open and close.
"Clas told me you were injured," a female voice said. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine Sonia," Sonic answered, still looking at the CDs.
"So what have you got?" Sonia asked.
Sonic didn't answer, he just let Sonia go up to his CD ranks and looked. She took out on CD. It had a black and white picture of a lion in a 50's suit. The writing said 'Frank Singal Greatest Hits'. Basically the Mobian version of Frank Sinatra.
"You like Frank Singal?" Sonia asked.
"I like any type of music," Sonic answered.
And it was true: Sonic's CD collection had pop, rock, heavy metal, RnB, rap, jazz, swing, anything you can think.
"My dad loves Singal. He plays him all the time," Sonia said with a sense of awe in her voice. "What's your favourite song of his?"
"My Way."
"My too," Sonia said in shock. "Kiss me."
"What?" Sonic asked, turning his head towards Sonia.
She pulled his down, tugging at his shirt and kissed him on the lips. Sonic wrapped his arms around her.

Downstairs at the same time people were dancing and singing to 'Chamless Man'. Stars and Vicky were on the sofa, kissing, even though the song isn't romance.
"And when you put it all together it's the story of Chamless Man" everyone sang at the same time.
Amy was watching Stars and Vicky, hoping to get Stars' attention. He didn't notice, so Amy couched. Stars turned his head.
"Okay, I know you two know each other but anyway," Stars said. "Vicky, Amy Rose, Amy, Victoria Hamilton."
"We know eachother," Amy answered. "I was wondering where Sonic is."
"He's in his bedroom, getting some CDs," Stars answered.
Amy started walk away but yell: "thanks mate!" to Stars.

In Sonic's room, he and Sonia were kissing on Sonic's bed (NOT nude). Both didn't seem to care that they was a party downstairs and didn't seem to care about Amy or Clas. But then the door opened. It was Amy and she just stood in shook, with her mouth wide open. Sonic saw Amy and she ran off.
"AMY WAIT!!!!!" Sonic shouted pushing Sonia off him and getting on his feet.
